Pediatric Orthopaedic Care

The Pediatric Service Unit at Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, understands that managing the care for a child is different from the adult, not just as a result of the physical differences, but also due to the social and emotional development. We appreciate that the parents of a child, and the nurturing relationship between a child and their family are equally important elements in the overall orthopaedic care and treatment of the patient. In order to foster this relationship, the Pediatric Service Unit created the Kids ROC Program. Kids ROC is designed to streamline access and communication.

Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic’s Pediatric Service Unit provides care for the entire spectrum of pediatric orthopaedic condiitions from birth until skeletal maturity (teenagers).

Our pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, Dr. Keith Mankin and Dr. Neil Vining, have a thorough knowledge and understanding of normal growth and development, we are able to differentiate abnormal patterns or growth from normal variations, which allows us to effectively interpret, diagnose, and treat skeletal abnormalities in children and adolescents.

What We Treat

Below is a list of common conditions treated by the Pediatric Service Unit:

Fortunately, many of these orthopaedic problems in children can be treated with conservative means; however, some issues may require surgical treatment. The Pediatric Service Unit at Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic recognizes when your child needs surgery, it can be stressful time, so we try our best to give as much information and reassurance as we can to make the surgical experience as pleasant as possible.
